ifm efector Introduces Magnetic Inductive Proximity Sensors for Food and Beverage Processing Applications
EXTON, PA - ifm introduces a new line of magnetic inductive proximity sensors that feature a 316 stainless steel sensing face and housing that withstand mechanical damage from physical impact in tough industrial automation applications and resist high temperatures in food and beverage applications. The sensor's all metal housing is chemically compatible with industrial cleaning solutions and will not corrode. A zero-leak design, rated IP69K, prevents ingress during high-pressure cleaning and steam cleaning.
The sensor's principle of operation is Giant Magnetoresistive (GMR) technology that enables non-contact indication for position and speed applications. The sensor detects a magnet through materials such as stainless steel, non-ferrous metal, aluminum, plastic and wood. With the integration of GMR technology, ifm magnetic inductive proximity sensors offer extremely long sensing ranges up to 70mm and high switching frequencies that are applied to the whole temperature range.
The 24 VDC units have a PNP, normally open switching output, an operating temperature of 0°C ...100°C, and an M12 connector for power. Two units are available: part number MFT 202 is an M12 diameter unit with a sensing range of 60mm; part number MGT203 is an M18 diameter unit with a sensing range of 70mm.
